Well, We will see how he does. I was really surprised by his pace in Finland when he was running in top 10 in his second ever rally.. and on snow :-)
And like you know, Finnish championship level is very strong. I expect at least some very strong stage times from him. For good overall result he needs more km with his car.

This would be his first event with the car on asphalt though.

Would be nice to see Kimi on IRC Sanremo later this year. That would be great publicity for Abarth!

Well, I would not be so sure about that !! First thing: this is TRA and not CIR, so he will not compete against Rossetti, Ucci, Travaglia, Cavalini, Signor, Michelini....but against Bernardeli, Borsa, Tagliani, Sora...and with all do respect, thay are not so fast as drivers in CIR !!
In general ranking normaly he has no chance against WRC cars, that is for sure !!
Let's wait and see, I am looking forward to see Kimster in rally car again, specially because this is yust an Italian race, without International meaning.
Nice from Kimi and organisers!!

I agree with Ucci ... but anyway there are too many WRC cars, it will be nice to see how he performs against other S2000 and Gr.N cars anyway.

I think that performance of S2000 vs WRC on this particular rally will depend on type of stages, if there is many hairpins and slow corners and after them big straights then S2000 cars don`t have any chance against WRC cars.
Lack of Turbo is big when there is many slow corners and hairpins.

Good luck, and have fun Kimi - I guess thats why you do it !!

I agree with Sulland,if you now find F1 boring or tedious then go and rally Kimi and enjoy it,may you have a satisfying result.

Amazing 35 stages and a totally new route for Repco Rally Australia

Amazing? 340 km/35 stages is average 9,7 km per stage. Nothing impressive for me...
